I’ve been working on altimeters for model rockets using both C and Micropython on Adafruit’s feather series and a couple other boards. The thing with C is the tool chain setup is 3/4 the battle. It’s a huge LOE to go from nothing to a blinking led (the embedded hello world) with C. With micropython it’s 5 lines, drag/drop a file, and reboot.

I appreciate C and I’ve learned a lot of things like peripheral clock multipliers and all the work that has to be done before you can even jump to main. However, I set out to make an altimeter heh.

Edit: oh and with C, writing your own device driver for every single thing is a pit of a pita too. There are open source drivers for some breakouts but they all seem to require serious hand fitting.
Used or Referbs. Maybe some old stock but at this point I doubt it...

You will see "UltraStar" branding but it will be "Western Digital UltraStar" not HGST UltraStar.

Some retailers may even still put HGST in the listing (i.e Amazon still has several listing for new Drives that refer to HGST) but the Packaging, offical documents, and everything that comes out of WD will not have any HGST branding on it, it will not say HGST on the drive etc

IMO the problem here is that they've taken a couple of tweets and profile links and ballooned it to a ten paragraph "summary" when a single link to the tweet in question would've served better.

When an article about a tweet doesn't bother to embed the tweet, it's probably a good indication that the article itself doesn't really add anything to the topic. Firsthand accounts from _either_ of the parties here would've been significantly more valuable to us as readers.
It is used, and most every other compression technique was/is used in video games.

I was thinking of using LZ4, but it doesn't really work that great on floating point, and images are already compressed (png, jpg, and even BCn, can't be compressed much further). So idk. Good thing about lz4 is that it's very simple[0] and probably faster then memcpy().

Here's a thing I don't understand: will we ever leave the meme stock bubble?

Most stockmarket gains have been happening with companies with no dividends and no executive control for at least a decade. Other than very few exceptions like Apple that one time large companies aren't buying back stock either.

Why should the price of individual stock still have some correlation to the company's profit?

- "working" is not defined clearly so it's possible everybody meant a different thing
- "admit" implies some sort of guilt on the developer side.

I honestly find it tiring to have to always check what I'm saying just in case one of the words I'm using is on a WRL (Word Revocation List) - this basic assumption that if you use one of these words you're using it in a derogatory way...

I don't really have any suggestions about how this could be handled differently, just pointing out this aspect that does end up making me talk less, certainly about touchy subjects, because I'm afraid of being misinterpreted and seen in a bad light.

Edit: It's also especially bad because English isn't my native language so I might use some construct that seems "natural" to me but insulting to a native speaker
You are jumping straight from speculation about the longevity of liquid metal to speculation that it is done for planned obsolescence. Cynicism is warranted in this world but not quite this much. I've seen gamersnexus do some testing on old liquid metal and not find any aging to be happening. With laptops thermal throttling is a huge issue and liquid metal helps cool things better. It is nice to see the effort here.
Ionic screwed me like a deck screw with their update path being more of a secret way into Mordor. Perfectly good app that can’t be compiled anymore without a full rewrite in what is effectively a completely different framework.

It is very good that the general public is less believing in science.

I remember well when the public was very believing, including me, and in hindsight it was always undeserving of such faith.

It was a very misguided thing to take a conclusion as fact, so long as it be called “science”, for often upon closer inspection the methodology was dubious, and it was never attempted to be reproduced, so even if the methodology were sound, the data could either be a fluke, or outright fabricated.

This is not a new development; if anything, the critical stance is the new development. It has been going on for centuries most likely that completely fabricated data stoot the test of time because no one bothered to replicate it. When I was at university in the 2000s, we were already told of respected researchers that fell from grace as it was found they had been fabricating data for decades and it took this long for someone to catch wind of it, as no one bothers to replicate research in this world.

The only new development is that now, some are starting to.

“Science” is not enough to believe it; the methodology must be inspected and found to be salient, and the data must have been replicated at least once, præferably more, by another independent group.
I would like to know other people's habits.

for example, I always close browser windows and only keep a few tabs open at once, and then found out I was weird and many people keep huge amounts of tabs around.

My personal habit is to use bash, and always write shell scripts with #!/bin/sh as the first line.

Thing is - I've haven't tried other shells (since I was a student) because of "linux superstition". Same superstition that chooses filenames without spaces and prevents putting "." in your path.

Thing is - I think maybe decoupling the user interface from the scripting language should be more of a thing. People don't have as much trouble switching out their terminal emulator (a way of taking up the slack).

Maybe the way to a better UI while maintaining compatibility would be to choose a good "user interface" shell and maybe exporting SHELL=/bin/bash so scripts run?

Apologies I didn't mean to be derogatory. I was just a little bit surprised at the bravado-military mentality that surfaced on a tech forum. To clarify, there are so many issues here I don't even know where to begin, just some quickies off the top of my head:

- the most obvious was mentioned already: forest fires, when missiles explode in a forest you are trying to protect, things tend to burn and fire tends to spread i.e. there might be little forest left to save after you're doing killing everyone who has bad intentions.

- where do you even set these up that they arrive on time to actually hit moving targets?

- how do you ensure you don't kill innocents?

- how do you even _find_ nefarious actors, when forest canopy makes it very hard to find anything, not to mention the Amazon forest is mind-numbingly huge.

- AFAIK the military generally has an inventory of weapons they have to keep stockpiled, so the tax-payer will pay for extremely expensive weapons to be used and built again (great if you want to support military-industrial complex).

As stated elsewhere, the issue is deeper and not addressable by blowing people up. The people doing this have nothing to lose because they have little or no opportunities for making money, so they take any job they can find. Do you believe we should just murder people who make questionable decisions based on their survival? You and I are sitting comfortably behind a computer having this discussion and I would venture that neither are us are qualified to talk about what it's like to be that close to starving.
This reminds me very much of an EWD quote:

"My point today is that, if we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as 'lines produced' but as 'lines spent': the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger."

> You just time the operation to minimize risk of wildfires, which is already pretty low in a rainforest.

You seem misguided, rainforest is not equivalent to high humidity or rain all year round, you absolutely have wildfires and it is not a 'pretty low' risk. [0]

Also most of these operations are lead by organized crime and explore poor people in their day-to-day operations. Killing desperate and poor people that work on these illegal operations seems like a very disproportionate colateral for anyone that cares about upholding rule of Law, or you know just general ethics.

This is not great coverage imo. It focuses on retail investors when arguably the big wall street guys had more of a role to play. By overshorting the stock (140% of outstanding stocks were shorted) they made themselves vulnerable to what happened afterwards.
The GameStop shares had a couple of things going for it:
- Ryan Cohen who previously sold Chewy.com invested heavily and joined the board
- Higher than expected sales of (legacy) games on discs
- Strong cash position

So WallstreetBets picking up the stock does not come completely out of the blue. I would say the 'Fiasco' has as much to do with Melvin and other short sellers making mistakes as it has to do with retail investors.
So, this is a different argument from the one you were making before. You first post is about ingestion of media. This one is about production. This is a very different claim, but still requires evidence beyond stating that there is some. Can you help me out and provide some?

That's the obvious value proposition but There's a reason why sporks did not make spoons and forks obsolete.

I messed around with a few cross platform tools a bit and my impression is that if you want to make something that is better than a WebApp you actually have to learn a lot more tools and frameworks and everything feels like falling apart and you are depended on multiple vendors to upkeep the tooling.

The moment you say that your app is more than an UI to access a database, native on multiple platforms is actually easier.
It’s a socially constructed term that was popularized in 2010 or so to figure out a way to lump Black, Latino, and Asian people together. It almost never makes any sense talk about all of those different groups as one (“Latino” and “Asian” are by themselves over-broad categories) but that’s where we are.

Not OP, but I like to avoid Jupyter where I can too. I like using a REPL though.

For very interactive, experimental work I like having code in one pane and a REPL in another separate one - so that you can highlight and send snippets of a file to the REPL with a keystroke or two, and the code and results aren't mixed together.

RStudio or Vim Slime[1] would be my favourite examples of this kind of approach.

For more "static" literate programming, I prefer the way RMarkdown and Sweave work to Jupyter Notebooks (though I don't even use R anymore). Both have their strengths and weaknesses of course.

Funnily enough, it's a bit hinted to in one of Culture novels.

Culture Minds have a quirk of their build that made them what they are - it's not the norm, though there are other Mind-like AIs that joined later. Building super intelligent unfettered AI has a known end condition where said AI at worst might steamroll local area then pass onto higher plane of existence or however you decide to call the process of Sublimation.

Because a super intelligent AI quickly can reach that point, and with resources available to many Involveds, finds cheaper and more interesting methods to reach there than disassembling biological life.
I dream to find the very same article on the original IBM PC hardware.

I wish to repaint my dirty 5160, but none of the beige sprays of the local DIY shops fit. I could order on Internet but I have no references and Google searches could not help me so far.

Have any of you repainted some early IBM PC hardware with proper colors? RAL codes are welcome if you have...
I think it's worth pointing out what a "hot take" that article is. It was written on the day of storming itself, and published at 5:54 PM, before the announced curfew had even started (and before some details about the government response were revealed[0]).

The Naval War College professor being interviewed in the article basically argues that unless the military is involved, it isn't a "coup", by definition. That would make the phrase "military coup" redundant, and contradicts the Merriam-Webster definition[1] which characterizes it as:

> a “sudden decisive exercise of force in politics,” but particularly the “violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group.”

By the professor's logic, even if a president were to explicitly command his followers to storm the Capitol, eliminate his political opponents, and destroy the certifications of the electoral votes he had lost, allowing him to stay in power illegitimately, that still wouldn't be a coup (or a self-coup, presumably).

In any case, another article[2] on the same site makes the opposing case:

> It’s undeniable at this point. The United States is witnessing a coup attempt — a forceful effort to seize power against the legal framework.

Admittedly it was published even earlier than the other article, but it had been drafted in response to discussions which had begun before the protests had turned violent, vindicating the author's position.

> if you are presented with evidence that when not all citizens have human rights then everyone is more well-off and happier

I simply do not believe that anyone would be "more well-off and happier" by themselves being stripped of the protection afforded by their own human rights. This is a contradiction in terms.

Argument against human rights are always targeted at some powerless underclass, such as immigrants or non-citizens, who are felt not worthy of this protection. The person making this argument typically feels that the leopard would surely never eat _their_ privileged face, but would only punish, you know, _those people_.

When people say they "aren't working" they are talking about chitchat and watching YouTube, not doing the engineering part of software engineering.
It's the junk food of furniture. Produced at scale with poor materials, satisfies people's immediate need, locations are functional and service is fast. But don't you want something more substantial and created with more craft? You probably don't need more than one adult bed in a lifetime, for example. I've got furniture that's been in use hundreds of years.
I saw a journalist share Typerighter on Twitter and was intrigued, so I'm looking forward to reading this.

It's a bit surprising that the engineering blog appears to be embedded in the main site, though. I've worked at a news org in the past (admittedly much larger) and the engineering/meta blogs were entirely separated from the main news section. Obviously it doesn't make sense to reinvent your stack, but I'm surprised the surrounding site scaffolding isn't at least distinct to show this isn't primary news output.
But we're talking about private owners here. Also, there's no mention of how much the state owns or if the rest is owned by other private third parties.
To contrast that with my anecdata, I regularly work over 12 hours a day. Of course, not all of that is paid.

As others have said, it all depends on what you call "work".
Why Is Ranch Dressing Called Ranch Dressing?
"The origin of the salad dressing known s ranch started with a man named Steve Henson. In 1949, Henson went from Nebraska to work in Alaska as a plumbing contractor and was accompanied by his wife, Gayle. While there, as part of his job, he had to cook for the others working with him, and he began to develop a recipe for buttermilk dressing."
I bet some of those those typos came about because the type was hand set.

James Damore’s views (regardless if they are right or wrong) don’t seem to be covered by California laws:

https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/...

> California Labor Code section 1101 prohibits employers from implementing any rule, regulation, or policy "forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office" or "controlling or directing or tending to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees."

>

> California Labor Code section 1102 provides "[n]o employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity." To this end, employers cannot enact policies limiting employees' political activities or affiliations or in essence force employees to follow the employer's political leanings.
That's still work. The surveys are talking about goofing off like we are now.
Funny, though I am unshocked that they have figured out a way to automatically generate cant.

What does make it interesting is if it were applied as a GPT-2/3 module, and let loose as a reddit comment bot to train a model for engagement and provocation. Editors are essentially model supervisors, and if the object is to provoke and flatter people to sell advertising, it seems more like a compute problem to distill this process into a business.

Human writers creating organic content aren't really necessary for that, and very soon we should be able to generate content and then attribute it to loyal personalities that we stand up as minor celebrities, not unlike the old Hollywood studio system from the early 20th century, where talent was well kept, but still very much kept.
It's gonna be interesting to see how well old USB ports will be supported in the long term with everyone rushing for thin machines with USB-C (sure you could buy a hub).

Back in 2000 my first laptop had a serial port and i bought a Wacom serial based tablet for it. A couple of years later that was gone and i had to buy a USB Wacom (that still works with win10 on modern machines!!). So for some other HW project i had to find a USB-Serial converter, so the question will be, are we really supporting the same old standards if we're forced to chase dongles?
